I made this image for the cover of 'The Narey Report on Adoption', published in The Times and written by Martin Narey. The report attempts to identify why and how the UK should radically seek to increase the number of adoptions.

The little paper off-cuts of children represent "Britain's lost children", the children who are struggling to be adopted. They are not part of the paper cut at the centre of the image, but instead, drifting and forgotten.
